Construction begins on the Women Build Home!

Construction began this Saturday on the Women Build Home. A large group of about thirty five women from the Women's Ministry of UGA's Christian Campus Fellowship came out and worked on the foundation and floor of Reginald Willis' new home.

Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity International program that encourages women to have fun and make a difference by building homes and communities. The current Women Build project (Building Green and Building Dreams) is the third campaign presented by Athens Area Habitat. This campaign is made possible through a partnership with Athens-Clarke County Human Economic Development and The Athens Land Trust. Fundraising efforts

Happy New Year!

2008 will be an exciting year for Athens Habitat as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary! In recognition of this memorable time, we have set a goal to build ten homes this year.

As we begin this new year, we encourage the community to get involved with Habitat.

As a non-profit organization, Athens Area Habitat for Humanity depends on volunteers in the Athens area for support. Volunteers are the backbone of Habitat and everyone has something to offer. Without the generous contributions of so many individuals and organizations, the service we provide to Athens families would not be possible.

Every volunteer and every hour donated makes a difference. Helping build new homes, joining a committee, lending a hand at a special event, or supporting the ReStore are just a few of the ways you can help Habitat achieve our mission of eliminating poverty housing in the Athens Area.

Find a way to make a difference in your community this year.
